Emotions spray isn’t particular to a selected few
but self control reigns supreme if
the mind’s lock succumbs to the key of maturity.

A negative impact steams out of the boil of behaviour when;
the eye swells through the accumulating poisonous fluids of greed,
the hand finds cover in gloves of selfishness,
mentality drinks the wine of sentiments,
appetite suffers an absolute anarchy from instincts,
anger smokes in a mind highly inflammable
and hunger trespasses the out of bounds
encouraged by the effrontery of hormonal quests.

Character and attitude have no race, tribe or fraternity
hence human exhibition is distinctly individualistic
and the DNA of actions, solely created by its carrier.
but like a group of similar bones with same skin cover,
one can stand tall to be notable like the fore-finger.

Inflammable Flame

What I was thinking for her,
But everything went wrong.
I was thinking that she also loves me,
And just all dreams perished.
Year's dreams are broken,
And, mind now, sad over two days.
Thinking if she had just said me hi,
But she has another one in her mind.
Everything went wrong,
Everyone now far ahead of me.
Just because everything went wrong,
Just thinking of her lust,
But my heart is not going anywhere else.
On her! Everything went wrong,
And that also a time long.
Everything went wrong,
Everything went wrong!
And the flame of hate was ignited,
And now everything over.
Just focusing on the future,
Now I am not able to love.
Now I am not able to love.
Everything went wrong,
For the time long.
Now this flame will show her,
What will happen anytime after that.
Then and now,
Everything went wrong,
For a time long.

Fire on the River

The boat sways under a reddening sunset.
Is it wrong to wish for a Viking funeral,
to ponder a last journey West
into the dying light?

Strangers have always been my companions,
they intuit
the liquid, and inflammable nature
of this thing we do

- this poetry that is the life of us.

I could rest here in a free-floating skiff
adrift on a long warm wave of evening,
let the wooded lands and sloping meadows,
the smoke-stacked barge brimming harbors.
the patched up, river towns,
let them all slip on by
under the furled sails of evening clouds.

Just drift myself into the dusky flames,
as kindling for a starry night,
until the flowing waters enter a darkening fall,

or should I hitch this small craft
to an uncertain tomorrow,
maybe land upon another stump of reality,
one where imagination
can still idly play with fire?

A Poem Regarding Evil-Company

a poem regarding evil-company

thus do learn to tolerate the blow of wings
of the most inflammable flesh 

after the successful sacrifice of the student-hostel 
jumping into the peacock-foams 
how dangerously is changing the total travel-route of the nail-polish

in the high tide of the coconut-kernel 
that conquers the world
today the water-pigeon gets pain 

only by the flute made of palm-leaf 
can’t be written the pleasure-trip in boat 
of the injured-knee night-queen that is deposited heavily 
on the collar of the village-moonlight 

even-then the gramophone would be playing on 
even-then the courageous pheasant would proceed further 
to throw towards the squirrel a dinner-sleep

then all the daughters in disguise of birds certainly 
may come out from within the salted mosquito-net 
burning open-ground in their  eyes 

even after  
the small boats of the fig leaves                       
would slip from the chorus song 
of the roses

then they are to be pulled forward to the river-bed
of the late afternoon 

to make them understand again 

that such Xerox-centre which can ignore its metallic-birth 
does not grow even now  on either side of this muddy road 

so look at to see how the  epenthesis 
of the screwpine-leaf withdraws her beak from the old dome 

and pours 
all new mathematics

into the compact-disc stitched with the back of the sea-tortoise 

if that’s not real
how in the left and right 
such evil-company of the oxygen would creep 

if the next part of this commentary 
resumes from the umbilicus cavity of the x-mass 
would the blood-sugar of the water-plankton be rising continuously 

look there again 
the feather of colour that is in her adolescence  
touches the cold magnet of her gamut
to disperse the cherry orchards

now if the doors of this brown triangle be got open 

you can see on the screen one by one 
the projection of the apex-points of the red-palash 

and in the night-texture of the kathakali-kathak 
they are supplying continuously   
small sun-shines in poly-packs

Late one night walking in rain-hit New York,
Full moon kept watch as I measured my way,
shops shut, such silence unknown to city,
world in grip of scary virus menace,
my ears were pricked to every eerie sound,
They told me of the psycho cat’s demise,
encounter kill with predator unknown,
my stiletto shoes break peace with their clicks,
soft prattle of foot steps behind me like, 
Eerie boardwalk creaks near the white sand beach,
Slowly I turn to confront my stalkers,
million eyes glitter in darkness of street,
dark brown hairy, big street rats of New York,
gnarl fierce as perhaps gnarled at psycho cat,
they ripped enemy to end his tale!
I knew the danger that I was faced with,
I reached into leather bag for weapons,
with prayer and courage I could summon,
lit my lighter and filled my mouth with wine,
blew a fountain, sprayed them shouting you swine!!!!!!!
Screaming and spraying the burning spirit,
mean rascals ran like they confronted devil,
So I escaped from almost certain death
thanks to cheap drink I carried in my bag,
The label I hide on the wine bottle,
inflammable mixture not fit to drink!
Suddenly screaming I wake up in bed,
sobbing next to my dear concerned husband,
have had enough of dreary pandemic,
this mask, isolation and long late walks,
if away for few months all should be fine, 
Sabbatical dreams after quarantine!

Feedback On Baltimore

A few soaring trees 
Here and there
On a green earth
Flowers with flesh in girth
The costume bear
No wear and tear


Air going out in BMW
Air coming in seven hues
This show is likely due to
System in a capital skew

In front of them
Is the waste land
 Marshy messy meadow
Dull bushes in shadow
Looking ugly and small
Staring at the marble hall

“Can’t we get 
Some healthy sunshine 
A little shade by a hand divine
A tender touch of love
To get rid of 
This wheeze and whine?”


But apathetic capital 
Pays no heed
Day goes and night comes
The vulture is sure to return
Peeved mass of despair
Inflammable in the air

The other day came the headlines
Two fleshy plants molested
Raped and confined
Turmoil in the spine

The force opens fire 
A gloom dies then and there 
Tale of tearing tears everywhere 

Grousing   gore  
Whether here in this shore
Or in Baltimore

Be that as it may
We shall overcome
In the long run
May be it will take
A lot of decades.

We have stars as our guide
And dream inside.

Premium Member Busted - the Human Levy

One world in a trillion
Where everything clicked
In a Goldilocks zone
Where a switch had been flicked

Busted
Perfection soon rusted
When late party crashers
Were grab it and smashers

For eons they blended
Their world complemented
Till fresh out of college 
With abundant knowledge 

Busted
I’ve loved and I have lusted
I’ve taken and I’ve given
Not much to be forgiven

I never drilled for oil
But I used a small amount
So when the man says dust to dust
I hope that doesn’t count

Busted
Some plastic, some gas and inflammable stuff
So, no use in saying it wasn’t me, Guv
When I get my call from above

I’ve had my heating high
And I’ve had my water hot
I’ve left the faucet running
When I only washed a pot

Busted
That’s me done and dusted
I shall meet my creator
Through no incinerator

The mess we make as humans
Means every man’s on trust
For every year that we spend here
The more world we can bust

Busted
I’ll soon be soil encrusted
And I’d rather like to know
That the cost of me... was low

Premium Member Tinderbox

Sept. 11. is a dark and fateful day, 
No one wants to live through.
A plane plummeted into the World Trade Center
And in minutes it turned into a tinderbox.
With a flash of light and a thunderous boom,
Billows of smoke darkened the sky.
Crimson flames rose high and danced in the air,
Turning hundreds into mere cinders!

Such atrocities are vicious and repeated
Caused by tempestuous passions and brutish urges

Violence erupts as pressure builds inside
No warning, no alarm siren
Sudden spurt of lava, effacing life, love, and dreams
War drums, grenades, gun shots
Fire spitting dragons of tanks
Sizzling missiles and bombs
Screams, wails, and bloodshed
Pale faced grimace of death!

It’s up to us to decide if we should be agents of peace 
Or tinderboxes, highly inflammable!

Milton the blind bard of England sang
“Peace hath her victories
No less renowned than war”
Let no man take up arms against another
For when peace dwells within
There shall be peace without!

Sprawling in America

Trucks hauling away defunct Malls.
One city has been transported to another,
until superimposed, only the name are different.

Freeways chase endless miles,
looking for more things to shift,
shlep and shoulder.
Ninety per cent of everything movable
is assembled by 100 percent of new renters.
Oil, cattle, and inflammable gaseous toxins,
are handled by cab radios, satellite commands,
and shredding rubber.

The main drags compete to be anonymous,
wear the same masks, many disintegrate
or morph into closed forever signage.

In the concrete encircled,
whittled-down woods,
lovers try to imagine a better place to live,
one that is not yet on the road.

Fire On the Ohio River

My boat rocks gently under a reddening sun,
is it wrong to wish for a Viking burial,
to ponder a last journey West
into the dying light?

Strangers have always been my friends,
they intuit
the liquid and inflammable nature
of this thing we do.

I could rest my soul here in this skiff
on this one long warm wave of evening;
let the wooded lands and sloping meadows,
the dredged, smoke-stacked barge brimming ports,
the patched up river towns slip on by
under the kindling sails of evening clouds.

I am laid out like a homeless person
bundled up in my rags and tinder,
a shadow in a small boat, drifting.
Night falls to the water
the words of strangers flame high
fire starters and their poems gleaming
as the dark rushes in.

I hitch the boat to a stump of land,
still imagining a Viking funeral,
but also resigned to a tomorrow -
yet another strange place
to play with this fire.
